Chapter 111: Lie to yourself

He screamed louder and louder, his voice filled with anger, despair, and pain, like a mortally wounded beast howling with all its might as it died.

Catherine saw that he was in a big frenzy, took a few steps back, only to be frightened and his heart thumped, and said, "No, not Alex, he ...... He's dead, he's dead......"

When Edward heard the news of Alex's death, he was slightly stunned, then looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "It's good to die, it's good to die, haha~~, haha~~!"

After laughing for a while, he continued: "Catherine, the little white face is dead, what are you still hesitating about? No one is more worthy than us, as long as you promise me, not only this book is yours, but even my life is yours!" he said, kneeling on one knee, staring at Catherine, holding the book flat and showing an expectant look on his face.

Catherine saw him kneeling on the ground and hurriedly said, "Don't you ...... Don't do that, you stand up first!"

Edward said resolutely: "If you don't promise me, I can't afford to kneel!"

Catherine sighed again and said, "Your mind...... I understand, but I really didn't cut you off for Alex!"

Edward's eyes widened, and he asked, "What is that for? Why just don't you accept me? Why? Am I not doing anything wrong? You tell me, I change, I change, I can't change?"

Catherine let out a long sigh and said, "You...... You still don't know me, hey~~, for so many years, I have been born and died for the church, I am tired of the bloody wind and rain, I just want to be an ordinary person, do you understand?" As he spoke, he walked up to him and reached out to help him up.

Edward grabbed Catherine's hand, and when the Book of Dracula fell on the grass, he still knelt on his knees, looking very excited, and said, "What if...... Would you like to leave the church if I also leave...... Would you like to stay with me?"

Catherine smiled sadly, she and Edward grew up together in the Lunatic Cult since childhood, knowing that he was the most fanatical believer in the wolf god, for the sake of all his strength, for the sake of strength, he would never leave the church, and said lightly: "Are you willing?"

There was a sense of certainty in his voice.

Edward was silent for a while, staring at her with his eyes, and after a long while, he said, "Have you really decided to betray the wolf god?"

Catherine shook her head and said, "I didn't betray, I just wanted to be free......"

Before she could finish her sentence, Edward's eyes were full of fierce light, and he quietly grabbed a handful of Divine Punishment Sand from the small cloth bag, waved his hand, and with a snort, turned into a blue poisonous mist and floated towards Catherine's face.

Catherine never expected him to suddenly attack, and suddenly saw a cloud of blue mist rushing towards her face, and couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly jumped back, but in this instant, she had already inhaled a lot of poisonous mist.

In a flash of thought, she had already woken up, knowing that she had been scheming, and in a fit of rage, she shook her body and rushed to Edward, who was kneeling on the ground, and grabbed his head with one claw.

Edward had expected her to be a dying blow, so he rolled on the spot, avoiding one of her claws, and rolled out a few steps away, lying on the grass, and was not in a hurry to stand up, and smiled sadly: "How does this sand of divine punishment taste?haha~~, haha~~!"

Catherine only felt the Venus dancing in front of her, her ears were buzzing, her whole body hurt as if there were thousands of ants biting, her body shook a few times, her legs were weak, her left knee bent, she fell to one knee on the grass, she felt that her strength was passing quickly, and she was extremely angry in her heart, and said, "You...... How can you have ...... Divine Punishment...... Divine Punishment ......"

Edward looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "The sect leader gave it to me! This can only blame you for wanting to betray the church, haha~~!"

When Catherine heard this, her face changed greatly, and she said in a trembling voice: "Sect Master...... He...... He lied to me, he lied to me! He lied to me!"

Edward sighed and said, "It's not that the sect leader is lying to you, it's you yourself who is lying to yourself, you are a member of the church for a day, don't expect to leave the church for the rest of your life, wake up!"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Catherine was stunned.

Catherine only felt dizzy and couldn't support it anymore, she fell to the grass, followed by a flash of magical light, she returned to her human form, two lines of tears crossed her cheeks, and murmured: "I have never disobeyed the Master, even the Book of Dracula, I stole it, I have done my best, why? Why don't you just let me go, I just want to be an ordinary person!"

Edward sighed again and said, "No one can ever leave the church unless it is death!"

Catherine only felt her life pass little by little in pain, and moaned: "Ouch~~, ouch~~, with ...... Take me back to ...... Go back, I want to see ...... See the Master!Ouch~~!"

Edward sneered sadly and said, "Heihei~~, as long as you promise me, I will take you back and help you intercede with the sect leader, how about it?"

Catherine clenched her teeth, glared at him, and said angrily, "You...... You're blackmailing...... You want to blackmail me!"

Edward shrugged his shoulders, whistled, and said, "Even if it is!"

Catherine smiled sadly, ignored him, looked sideways at the full moon in the sky, and suddenly remembered the scene of her childhood, and a charming smile appeared on her face, obviously rejecting him.

Seeing that she would rather die than promise herself, Edward's heart was already cold, and he suddenly became angry, jumped up, and roared, "Am I so annoying to you......?" Since I can't get your heart, I'll get your body too!" he said, smiling evilly, and walked towards Catherine step by step.

When Catherine heard this, she was immediately horrified in her heart, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You...... Do you want to ...... What do you want to do?" I tried to get up, but I couldn't muster any strength.

Edward walked up to Catherine, squatted down, pinched her chin with his left hand, and said, "Tut~~, I don't know how many times this face has appeared in my dreams, and today I finally got what I wanted!haha~~!haha~~!!"

At this moment, Robert, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up, and the black shadow flickered, and it was behind Edward, and the knife flashed, and with a soft snort, a knife stabbed him in the back.

Edward suddenly heard the sound of the air breaking behind his ears, and immediately turned sideways, and Robert's knife only stabbed him in the shoulder, but did not hurt the vital point.

Robert knew that he was going to jump away, and then used a move "knee top", poof, hit his back, and then a "flat stab", and another snort, cut a cut on his face, and was about to receive a "tiger strike", when he suddenly felt a soreness in his arm, and this move slowed down.

In this instant, Edward landed on his feet and leaped a few steps to the left, avoiding this "tiger strike".

I saw him gasping for breath, with a hellish look on his face, his right hand turned around and pressed the wound on the back of his shoulder, and a cut on his face went from his left eye to the corner of his right mouth, and blood kept gushing out, falling on the grass drop by drop.

A playful smile appeared at the corner of Robert's mouth, and he stretched out his index finger and hooked it at him with a very contemptuous expression.

Edward gave Robert and Catherine a vicious look, picked up the Book of Dracula at his feet, turned and ran, and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.

After another moment, Robert's "um~~" life snorted, couldn't hold on any longer, collapsed softly, and lay right next to Catherine.

For a moment, there was silence all around, and the two were almost head to head, and they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

It turned out that after Robert drank the three bottles of magic dissolving agent, he felt that the spread of the toxin was much slower, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, secretly gathering strength, seeing that Catherine was going to be insulted, where could he endure it, and immediately came to the rescue, but after a few moves, his strength had been used up, and it was quite difficult to stand still, and later, it was just a pretense, if Edward waited for a while, without doing anything, Robert himself would have fallen.

Catherine fell on the ground, and when she saw that Robert had saved herself, she couldn't believe her eyes, and asked, "You...... Why should you ...... You want to save me?"

Robert panted and laughed, "This ...... That's ...... It seems like...... It's like going to masturbate.,A...... One is willing to masturbate, one ...... A willing to suffer, haha~~!haha~~!"

Although he said this, it was Catherine's words just now that touched the softest part of his heart, remembering that when he was a child, because he was hungry, he often went to steal other people's bread, and was occasionally caught, and there was no shortage of punches and kicks, and he was as helpless as she was at that time, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy.

Catherine heard his foul language again, but instead of being angry, she felt a warmth in her heart and asked, "You...... How's your injury?"

Robert shook his head and said weakly, "Quick...... I can't hold it down, haha~~, it seems to be ...... It seems that we may ...... May die together!...... Does that count...... Peony flowers die, do ghosts...... It's also a ghost to be romantic!haha ~~,haha~~!"

Catherine struggled to pull out a yellow bottle of potion from her storage bag, handed it to Robert with difficulty, and said, "This ...... It's the antidote!"

Robert was overjoyed and struggled to drink, only to feel a pain all over his body, indescribably uncomfortable, and couldn't help moaning: "Ouch~~, ouch~~!

Catherine heard him moan and explained, "You...... Don't be afraid, this is exactly neutralizing the toxin!"

Robert felt that his strength was recovering little by little, and said with a wry smile: "After being poisoned, it makes people want to die, but the interpretation is extremely painful, what is this called?"
